Frigid temperatures in New York City didn’t deter Lena Dunham and the cast of “Girls” from putting their best foot forward on the red carpet last night. The star and creator of the show sparkled in a sleeveless silver sequined spring 2014 Rochas gown. The show kicks off its third season Jan. 12.

Costar Allison Williams looked polished in a Christian Dior dress with an embellished bodice and flared skirt, while Jemima Kirke, who often wears designs by her mother, wore a vintage-like saint gown with spaghetti straps. Zosia Mamet played it safe in a Saint Laurent little black dress with a deep neckline.
